Wives' shares of the inheritance

Q 5: Is the wife's share of her husband's residence the same as her share of inheritance?


A: Her share is one-eighth if the deceased has children and one-fourth if he has no children, whether the property is a residence or money. If there is another wife or wives, one-eighth will be divided between them. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
